As of Saturday, September 7, we had 7,400 signatures from those who know how important saving Mount Manresa is — “To save the best of every period in history.”

To the people who have attended every meeting and stood out on the service road of the Staten Island Expressway, we are grateful.

The goal is to keep the mantra, “SAVE MOUNT MANRESA” from disappearing in the minds of those who will be impacted by over 400-plus residences in an area that is, presently densely populated and overcome with millions of cars crossing the Verrazano Bridge daily.

The wish of the people is to allow Mount Manresa to be landmarked and remain in its present state as a park, to be enjoyed by all the people of Staten Island.
